8-tägiges Lemosho-Kilimanjaro-Gipfeltrekking in kleiner Gruppe

Wir sind im März dieses Jahres gewandert, kurz vor der Regenzeit. Wir wählten die malerische 8-tägige Lemosha-Route. Es half, sich allmählich an die Höhe zu gewöhnen, und wir hatten viel Zeit, die atemberaubende Aussicht zu genießen. Auch wenn es nur wir beide waren, fühlte sich das ganze Setup sehr professionell an. Tiffany war so hilfreich bei der Planung unserer Reise und reagierte schnell mit jeder Frage. Unser Guide, Amani und seine Assistentin, waren unglaublich sachkundig und sorgten dafür, dass wir uns immer wohl fühlten. Das Support-Team war auch fantastisch, immer mit lächelnden Gesichtern zur Hand. Wir machten auch eine 2-tägige Safari nach der Wanderung, und während es einen kleinen Schluckauf mit Transport gab, Simon, der lokale Manager, löste das Problem schnell und sorgte dafür, dass alles reibungslos verlief. Die Barranco-Mauer zu überqueren (natürlich zu küssen! ! ) war eine aufregende Erfahrung. Der Aufenthalt im Kosova Camp vor dem Gipfel war eine großartige Entscheidung. Es gab uns einen echten Vorteil für den letzten Drücker und frühen Start, um den erstaunlichen Sonnenaufgang bei Uhuru zu sehen, ein tolles Erlebnis zu schätzen. Wir hatten so viel Glück... ClimbKili war super. Das Wetter war super unterstützend. Wir haben die Wanderung sehr genossen und sind dankbar für die ganze Erfahrung... .

I went on this eight day Lemosho Kilimanjaro track in October 2024. There were 6 people in the group, including my brother, myself, our brother-in-law and two nephews. There also was a solo hiker from Australia that went with us. This was an exceptional trip and could not be matched. I’ve had altitude sickness in the past, but the guides for this trip were expert with altitude sickness, and nobody on our trip experienced this.We did see several people being helicopter’d off the mountain due to this, but our group leaders at Climb Kili knew how to acclimate us for the journey. I cannot imagine a smarter or better equipped group as Climb Kili.

I just got back from climbing Kilimanjaro, courtesy of Climb Kili. I'd have to say that the experience was wonderful. All six of us summited without incident. I'd like to say that we were amazingly fit and prepared, but the truth is that the climb Kili crew (Herment et al) had everything so organized and straightforward that we didn't actually climb Kili, we were pulled up by 22 amazingly dedicated and strong men. I have some comparison. I've been to Everest Base Camp with a good outfit, Patagonia, The Brooks Range, Iceland, etc. Climb Kili is at the peak when you want to summit that peak. I highly recommend them. In fact, it was pretty obvious that climbers from other outfits were jealous of our crew (and yes, they sang to us with harmony and gusto). Some tidbits: 1) Hot coffee or tea in your tent in the AM if you wish it 2) Tents are three person tents with only one or two occupents 3) Toilet facilities are private, with a great chemical toilet. Plenty of good TP. I saw other hikers slinking into the rocks with wads of toilet paper in their hands. Not us 3) Lots and lots of good food! Superb fare 4) Lots of boiled, sterile water. No gastroenteritis or other illness 5) Arusha and Kili are above the mosquito areas. No fear of Malaria 6) I found little use for trail bars and snacks. Leave them behind and lighten your pack Pick Climb Kili. Barring extremely rare High altitude pulmonary or cerebral edema, the only way you won't summit is because you chose not to
